For Charlotte Bartlett and the other lead organizers, it's much more than they had expected when they first announced the event a short time ago:

"Firstly, when Blazin Aubret, Sophia Harlow and I started to put this together, we just had the thought -- whatever we can do will help," as Ms. Bartlett puts it. "We were in total awe at the creators who literally within hours were knocking down our doors to help. We did the calculation last night as creators started to report the totals that we got past the L$1,000,000 mark and all we could think of [is what this] means: Safety for Max and his darling family to get a short term solution to have the time to plan for what comes next. Max is loved by so many people here, he has helped so many himself. This was for Max, and our hearts across SL are with him right now."
